Business leaders: Cap and trade is best for business
Some of the largest corporations in the United States, including ConocoPhillips, Deere & Co., The Dow Chemical Company, DuPont, Exelon Corporation, Ford Motor Company, Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo., Shell, Xerox and more agree: Cap and trade is the best way to regulate emissions while fostering economic growth.
Also buried in the bill:
- Keeps utility rates low for consumers by giving 30% of allowances to local electricity and natural gas companies, and requiring the utilities to pass the benefits on to their customers
- Protects low- and moderate-income households by allocating 15% of allowances to minimize impacts on these households
Yeah, it sure is a real bad a$$bill, isn't it?
Ron, you need to stop listening to Rush and pay more attention to real life.
The blue Highlight...............And who do you think will be paying for those 15 and 30% allowances
The red Highlight..........And who do you think will be paying for the Gov kickbacks to those corporations for doing their good deeds.
Not taking sides here, but Jerry, someone will be paying for all that money given for allowances and kick backs.
I think it will be the rest of the Americans or should I say US citizens.
There is not just hand outs of raw cash without it coming back in some place
Please stop with the King Bush thing. His era is over and we are just talking of what the current admin is doing.
Oh yeah, who do you think is going to pay for the medical bill and the help out families that may have to get foreclosed on. I think it will be the rest of the US citizens.
The increase to energy costs to pay for the new programs, medical benefits taxed.
I would think that half of what Our President ran on about no new taxes for anyone making less than 250,000. If it is not a tax then what word that skirts around the tax word would you call it.
No, this is not a rant just simple 1rst grade math and reality.
Someone is going to pay for all these wonderful programs that the Dems have wanted to do for decades. And the sick part of it is I was born and raised pure Yankee Democrat for half of my life. Now I am leaery of being either a liberal or Conservative or Dem or Republican.
Way to much, way to fast is being shoved down the Americans throats all at once. All of this would normaly take a generation to put in place. It will for a long period of time (very long period) hurt the growth of America and create a stagnant ecomomy for a long time to come.
Way to much, way to fast, no matter how good it may look.
